Hollywood. Culture. Ethnic diversity. Massive. These are just a few of the words that could be used to describe The City of Angels. California’s largest city and the second most populated in the United States is iconic on many levels.

For over a century, it has been the country’s premiere cultural melting pot, one where people from all backgrounds come to live in hopes for making a name for themselves. Say hello to the headquarters of the global film industry, a place every TV and movie celebrity has stepped foot at least once.

Sacramento, California’s capital is 361 miles Northwest of L.A., and the average flight time to get there is 1 hour and 17 minutes. You can find direct flights from Los Angeles to Sacramento with Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Continental Airlines, Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, and US Airways.

Leaving L.A.

Los Angeles International is equally synonymous with the congestion present in its corresponding city’s streets. Roughly 16 miles from downtown, the airport transported an estimated 71 million people in 2014, and was ranked the busiest origin and destination airfield on the planet in 2011.

Consistently topping the charts for aircraft movements and annual passenger and cargo traffic, this facility is the only one to act as a flight hub for every U.S. legacy carrier (i.e. the famous United, Delta, and American Airlines trio)! Furthermore, it is a focal destination for a slew of additional carriers, including Alaska Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Qantas, Volaris, and Allegiant Air.

Enjoy Your Stay in Sacramento

A goldmine of attractions awaits visitors of California’s first city to experience the 19th-century Gold Rush. The atmosphere in Sacramento is considerably more slow-paced than that of L.A. and its residents more friendly and hospitable to tourists as well.

The Sacramento History Museum, Funderland, Tower Bridge, Arden Fair, Stevens Trail, Paddlewheel Showroom, William Land Park Golf Course, and Raging Waters are all popular tourist hot spots. Enjoy Sac City’s Mediterranean climate and feel free to roam around. Old Sacramento and Riverfront are easily accessible by foot, and only 15 minutes within walking distance from the capital.
